1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Soom Aloha and Sob

Apr 29, 2011

    1. Ahahahahahaa! Laughing so hard here at the 'cream shite' dearie me! Soom you muppet. Shame there are no full pictures of the human head and such. Ah well xD
       
    2. Hehehe!!!! I didn't even notice the typo, oh my! :lol:
       
    3. I'm a little confused - If I order just the Aloa head with one face up and body blushing, that price is for one human doll, correct? It seems too little! And the option for the human body, that's for a second body so if you want both heads you can get both at once?
       
    4. You can buy both heads with just one body or add a second human body and have two dolls!
       
    5. But you can't order one of each unless you put them on separate order? I wish they had put pictures of the human head! I'm definitely getting one, I can't decide between the white and green skin tones though. They're both lovely~
       
    6. Oh.. you're saying one Sov and one Aloa, right?

      I guess i've made a mistake here! lol

       
    7. I dunno, I think you can put them both in the same order, you'll just need to add them to the order separately. (I just tried, and it let me) And I agree! The price does seem rather reasonable! :D
       
    8. *sigh* I am just so very distraught over this, and it figures where Soom stopped answering their Q&A for the night was right at my post. I really hope they'll allow me to cancel (but I'm seriously doubting it, they've screwed me over before ;; ).

      I find it kind of interesting though that they didn't re-release the clothing, wig, and eye options.
       
    9. Yeah! I also think it's super weird that they didn't bother putting up pictures of the human eared head. And that the first picture of Aloa is on an old style body (single jointed elbows). It looks incredibly lazy. It's almost as if they weren't planning on having a human version at all. Maybe they'll update tonight with new pictures and accessories?

      Anyhoo, Echo, I wish you luck! Hopefully SOOM will be kind due to the fickle circumstances surrounding this release.
       
    10. The human head is definitely strange (and more so since there's a note about it on the sale page), as this was supposed to be a "human" release. I do hope they'll post a picture of the head soon, I'm sure there are several buyers who would like a human head with their Sov.

      Thanks! Keeping my fingers crossed regardless. Soom may surprise me yet!
       
    11. Does anyone know what bodies they're on (the question mark doesn't work ^^") Like gender, joints...
      Do you think human head has other differences than the ears (question) e.g. half-closed eyes or something... I hope not ;_;
       
    12. I think the human head looks just like the elf-eared one. Human heads tend to be very basic and open-eyed, and all of the fancy stuff tends to go on the more fantasy heads.

      As for bodies, I imagine they're gender-neutral, as they always do with releases of dolls that have two different skintones, with new elbows/hands?

      This is actually the second time Soom's just tossed out some old dolls in the past month with (seemingly) little to no prep or after-thought. They also did it with their Idealians - basically, they did an order period of a limited release of the first short Idealian, and then a month later threw him out again as a Special Order, with the same skin-tone, and the limited face-up, and the option to get him in normal skin without any pictures of him in NS. Kind of like what they did here - no new pictures of the human ears, or face-ups, and this one doesn't even get a new outfit treatment.

      I wonder if Soom's development team is really falling behind?
       
    13. The SOOM page says: "+ Teenie gem neutral type (cream white or light green)". It's listed right under the last picture. Hope that helps.
